After saying this, King turned and left before Zhuge Cong.
[King Zhuge Cong smiled as he watched him leave. Zhuge Cong wasn't short of money and didn't care about the meager salary of being a S.H.I.E.L.D. consultant.]
Therefore, Zhuge Cong directly gave up his entire salary as a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D. to get King to do him a favor. As for who the person to choose, Zhuge Cong knew King knew.
"You're quite vengeful, aren't you?"
Lupin III looked at the deal between Zhuge Cong and King and said.
"Why do you say that?"
Daisuke Jigen, who was standing nearby, asked.
Daisuke Jigen doesn't know why Lupin III said that Zhuge Cong was quite vengeful.
After all, the conversation between Zhuge Cong and King sounded like a riddle the whole time, and you really wouldn't know what they were talking about if you didn't see the answer.
"How about we make a bet, on whether what I said is right or wrong, how about it?"
Lupin III didn't tell Daisuke Jigen directly, but instead wanted to make a bet with him.
"No gambling, if you want to gamble, go gamble at the Hundred Flowers King Academy."
However, Daisuke Jigen clearly didn't buy into Lupin III's approach and directly refused.
"Forget it, there's no point in gambling in that place."
"Let me tell you, Zhuge Cong wants King to invite the senator who initially opposed him and subsequently smeared him on television to present the award."
"Of course, you may not have noticed, but almost every time Shiho Miyano appears, there is a TV in the background, and the TV shows an interview with that senator, who is always criticizing Zhuge Cong."
"That's why Zhuge Cong wanted King to help him get the senator to come and present the award to him and Hachiman Hikigaya."
"But a senator is still a senator, and Zhuge Cong is not short of money, so he simply gave up his salary as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and let the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. bring the senator over."
Lupin III explained to Daisuke Jigen, who was no fool and understood after hearing Lupin III's explanation.
"I understand."
"By the way, have you ever thought about stealing Zhuge Cong's Iron Man armor?"
Suddenly, Daisuke Jigen had a sudden urge to ask Lupin III a question.
"You can go by yourself. I'm not that interested in Iron Man armor."
Lupin III simply waved his hand in refusal.
Regardless of whether he is truly uninterested in the Iron Man suit.
Take Zhuge Cong's security system, for example; the artificial intelligence Jarvis is right there.
To be honest, Lupin III really had no idea what to do with that artificial intelligence.
To be honest, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the one who said he'd go in, and he did.
To put it mildly, only the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. got in.
Besides, what could one steal from Zhuge Cong's house now? Could one steal the "Youth Training Manual" that Zhuge Cong, who is still a teenager, keeps under his bed?
"Today, I am honored to present this honor to Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman Hikigaya and Mr. Zhuge Cong."
The senator on the podium spoke with a smile on his face, but inwardly he was cursing.
[You should know that when he first received the notice to present awards to Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong, he was extremely unwilling.]
But they couldn't withstand S.H.I.E.L.D.'s demonstration and that statement.
"Senator, you don't want something to happen for no reason, do you?"
Therefore, the senator was forced to comply with the agreement and award the prizes to Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong.
On the podium, Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong were both suppressing laughter and feeling relieved, getting revenge on this old bastard for his initial smear campaign against them.
"Mr. Zhuge Cong is a shining star, an indispensable figure."
Zhuge Cong and Hikigaya Hachiman exchanged a glance; both could clearly see the smile in the other's eyes.
"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel."
"Thank you for your outstanding performance and selfless dedication."
"You deserve it."
After his lengthy speech, the senator began the awards ceremony. He walked up to Hachiman Hikigaya and presented him with a medal.
"Thank you, sir."
[Hachiman Hikigaya maintained a very polite expression and demeanor as he spoke.]
"Mr. Zhuge Cong, thank you very much for your outstanding performance and selfless dedication."
"You deserve it."
After presenting the award to Hachiman Hikigaya, the Senator then went to Zhuge Cong and presented him with the general's title.
【"hiss."】
[Zhuge Cong suddenly felt a needle prick around his nipples.]
[I instantly realized it was this old bastard in front of me causing trouble; it seemed he was venting his anger here.]
【"Feel sorry."】
[The senator stabbed Zhuge Cong and then offered a hypocritical apology, as if to say, "I didn't mean to."]
"How can such a thorn (jerk) be so annoying?"
"The senator said in a low voice."
That little thorn was undoubtedly a veiled criticism of Zhuge Cong.
"Come take some photos."
The senator stood between Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Liang, draping both arms over them as if they were on good terms.
[Zhuge Cong also took the opportunity to launch a silent sneak attack on the senator's kidney.]
The senator's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal.
"We're even."
[Zhuge Cong's lips twitched slightly as he spoke softly.]
Chapter 157: The End of the Iron Man Saga
[There was nothing the senator could do but force a smile and watch the reporters taking pictures below.]
Zhuge Cong also gave a peace sign, suggesting that the three of them had a very good relationship.
The guests in the audience who came to attend the award ceremony for Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya applauded enthusiastically, and reporters kept taking pictures. At this point, the image on the screen gradually dimmed, but it didn't disappear completely, because the main event was about to begin.
"I wonder what kind of content this Easter egg segment will reveal."
Light Yagami watched the dimming screen close his laptop, then took out a new one.
The closed notebook contained the contents that Light Yagami had specifically used to record the second chapter of the Zhuge Cong arc.
The new notebook is specifically for recording Easter egg content. Since the content shown in the Easter egg segment doesn't have a clear direction, Light Yagami specifically brought a new notebook to record it.
In the second part of the Zhuge Cong series, Light Yagami felt that the two most significant elements were Zhuge Cong becoming an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the intentional alliance between the Iron Alliance and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Another is the new element invented by Zhuge Cong. From the current perspective, this new element is clearly related to energy, and we can see how Zhuge Cong performed after using this new energy source.
This new element is several levels more powerful than palladium as an energy source.
Even Light Yagami couldn't determine the exact amount; perhaps he would have to ask Zhuge Cong in person to find out.
--------
Gordon watched the dimming screen and knew that the post-credits scene was coming soon, and then he would have to go and release Zhuge Cong again tomorrow.
Looking at the content on the screen, Gordon didn't think he could persuade Zhuge Cong to join their organization.
After all, even the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't persuade Zhuge Cong to become an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. until he did Zhuge Cong such a big favor.
But if you can't join, can you still cooperate?
This new plan was decided upon after reading the second part of the Zhuge Cong series.
If you really don't want to join, we can cooperate.
However, according to the instructions from higher-ups, the heroes are recruited and cooperated with, while the villains are recruited or imprisoned.
In other words, if you're a hero, you don't have to join; you can still cooperate.
If you're the villain, and you don't join the fight, then you'll have to resort to some underhanded tactics. Of course, the tactics you use depend on the person.
For example, Asagiri is easier to catch compared to other places.
As for the other villains, judging from their performance on the screen, if they really want to fight, we'll have to wait and see what happens with Dr. Lizard Kohei Imamura.
An armed force was as insignificant as paper in front of Dr. Imamura Kohei, the Lizard.
Ordinary weapons haven't been used yet.
What I fear most is the lizard virus, since I really don't know if Zhuge Cong has an antidote.
